The decrees of Memphis and Canopus
E. A. Wallis Budge's 1904 study of the Rosetta Stone and the Decree of Canopus, published in London and New York for students of Egyptian inscriptions and hieroglyphic decipherment. Halftone photographs of temple courts, columned halls and carved walls alternate with clean line drawings of relief figures, giving crisp outlines of a plumed god-king, offering stands and hieroglyph columns alongside grainy tonal masonry.
